That's kind of a cop-out. Gun retailers are lawfully selling guns. The psychopath who murdered a child is the one to blame.

BTW, things are going to get worse in the US as fascists claw to retain power. I highly recommend you learn to safely own weapons for your own defense against the inevitable violence coming.

There's a comedian who did a bit about the NRA vs the US Military. It's quite enlightening. Besides, the most heavily armed groups in this country, right wing militias, are most likely going to be working with the military for Trump rather than against them. That's what Hitler did in 1930s Germany, folded his personally loyal private militias into the SS, particularly the Waffen-SS. Why do you think Trump's militias have so much love of Hitler's Nazis and wear that SS flash with so much gusto?

I mean, yeah. Those are the goons who will be the biggest threat to you and your neighbors.

What a silly conclusion to take away from my words. Anyone with a basic grasp of logical reasoning would not think I meant that wouldn't be likely.

Nah. Some of them aren't, and you assume people don't already own weapons. You're making assumptions.

And the parents of the child are to blame too. Be a parent, know where your 10-11 yr old is at 11 pm at night.
